I haven't written in a year. That's the most incredible sentence I think I could read right now. A year? An entire year. And now we're in 2020. The pandemic, the societal reckoning with systemic racism, climate change still going strong, exhaustion. I still don't feel like writing. I got a random amount of views [...]
Growth
I've spent the past hour going through old posts on this blog and WOW. I've deleted so many of them because I would never want those words published to the Internet and someone think it was truth. I've kept a few too because it's really nice to see growth and be able to watch someone's [...]
New: The Sustainable Pet
I've been practicing zero waste for a year! I can't believe there was life before this. I grew up in a meat-eating trash-making household, like I'm assuming most of you did too. We didn't and still don't have easy access to recycling in my hometown, so we didn't recycle. (My parents recycle now, but you [...]
The case for individual action
There's a lot a lot going on politically right now that is super stressful and I totally understand if the environment is the last thing on your mind (even though... environmental issues are totally race and gender issues too..). Anyway I'm going to write about this as a coping mechanism and I hope you'll read [...]
Education
Two reasons for this title today, friends. One: The March challenge of the week is to sponsor a girl so that she may receive an education. Whatever this means to you. You might begin sponsoring a child through a nonprofit and monthly financial donations. You might begin tutoring or mentoring. You might take some extra [...]
Impact
Hi! If you haven't read my post from last week, go ahead and do that first. Okay... Great. Last week's challenge was donating to a teacher in any sort of way. I ended up getting prayer requests more than anything and talked a little with a friend frustrated with the way her school was running [...]
Empowering
March's theme for our year of sustainability based on this plan is about empowering women. I love that. I love that in a year of mostly focusing specifically on environmental practices, we are taking the time to talk about gender and race and how environment is tied in with all of life. I got really [...]
Plants
Jumping right into it, I'd like to announce to the blog world that I've taken on a year of sustainable living journey on my personal instagram, which I've made public (at least for now, until I freak myself out again having it public lol, right?). Anyway it's right here if you want to follow along. [...]
the spiritual connection
So, I mentioned in my last post that I was going to bee school, I think. Well, hubs and I went to bee school! We took the NC certified beekeeper written exam and hopefully passed it. We sat in a room with over 100 other people while various beekeepers gave lectures for 9 hours. It [...]
Well, hello.
Well, hello. I fell off the face of the blog earth. I don't think anyone really cares (and I don't mean this in a depressing way. I just write for myself a lot these days.) Anyway we finished our road trip and I went silent. I went silent because I didn't know what to think [...]
